[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teach your DH that children are extremely literal creatures. They do not understand sarcasm or teasing until much older than you would expect. Even when they are a little older and pretending to get the joke because they know that is what they are supposed to do, they are internalizing the jibe as "the truth about me and my worth and my place in this relationship." These become deep-seated beliefs that shape them forever.[/quote] I don't think this is true for a lot of teasing. The problem isn't the teasing, it's that the DH doesn't know when to stop. Wonder does he have ADHD. My kid who has ADHD just doesn't know when to stop. He gets a good reaction (say, a laugh from a friend at a potty word) and then goes on and on with the same joke long after everyone else is tired of it and him.[/quote]
